TEST KEY:

Anemia (Iron Panel and HGB) – Anemia is a condition that occurs when the number of red blood cells and/or the amount of hemoglobin found in the red blood cells drops below normal. This test is used to evaluate the used to evaluate iron stores in the body.

Complete Blood Count – This test evaluates the number of red blood cells in your blood.

Diabetic A1c – This test screens for Diabetes and gives a picture of the average amount of glucose in the blood over the last few months. Estimated average glucose – this test screens for diabetes and pre-diabetes.

Glucose (Estimated Glucose Average)  – This test determines if your blood glucose level is within healthy ranges and tests for hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, diabetes, and pre-diabetes.

Heart health (Lipids, hs-CRP and Homosystiene) – This group of tests determines the risk of coronary heart disease. This includes total cholesterol, HDL (High density lipoprotein cholesterol), often called good cholesterol, LDL (low density lipoprotein cholesterol), often called bad cholesterol, and triglycerides.

Hemoglobin (HGB) – This test measures the amount of hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, in a blood sample, which is a good indication of the blood’s ability to deliver oxygen to tissues and organs and to transport the waste product carbon dioxide to the lungs, where it is exhaled. If your hemoglobin levels are low, you may have anemia, a condition in which your body is not getting enough oxygen, causing fatigue and weakness.

High-sensitivity CRP – This test assesses the risk of developing heart disease and cardiovascular risk.

Homocysteine  – Homocysteine is an amino acid that is produced by the body, usually as a byproduct of consuming meat. Elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood may be associated with atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries) as well as an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, blood clot formation, and possibly Alzheimer’s disease. This tests measures homocysteine levels.

Kidney function (BMP) – This test measures current status of your kidneys, blood sugar, electrolyte, and acid/base balance.

Liver function – This test screens for liver inflammation and damage.

Prostate (PSA) – This tests for prostate cancer.
